Nora's baptism day! We celebrated God's mark of grace on her and were reminded of the abundant grace he pours out on each of us. We were so blessed to share the day with family, friends, and our church. Praise God!

Amazing birthday date night! Reuben planned the whole night, including our kids going away over night! He surprised me with a great dinner at Louis Benton. Then it was Madcap, ArtPrize, and Hopcat. Love unhurried time with my love!

This is by no means how I would like to capture the deliciousness that is always dinner at book club (I took a quick snapshot and scurried to go eat it). But seriously, we foodies know how to potluck.

Evening dance party! Definitely the highlight of the day after a two-parent work day.

Coffee dates can sort-of still happen with 2 kids. Met my mom and sister for coffee... excited to see Jenna back from her honeymoon!

Back at it. Mixed emotions, but so blessed and thankful to have the opportunity to use my skills, have some adult interaction, only work 2 days a week, and to have wonderful family watch our girls!

It was a lounge-at-home-all-day kind of day today on my last day of maternity leave. I love my girls!

So good to be back together again with our third family, our Fervor church small group. Nora made the total number of kids officially outnumber the total number of adults now!

The oh-so-happy blue-mustache face of Alena after a little too long of not keeping my eyes on her.

On this cool almost-fall morning, Alena and I broke out our slippers for this first time and cozied up!

Well, I wasn't part of this event, except "letting" Reuben go to his first-ever Lions game with my brother, who invited him only a few days ago to go with 3rd row tickets. They even won. Let's just say he was a little bit excited about the whole thing. :)

Travis and Jenna's wedding day! It was a blessed, beautiful day that was so much fun! Besides seeing my sister so happy, the other highlights of the day were watching Alena as the flower girl and watching her have fun dancing at the reception. :)

At my sister's wedding rehearsal, Alena took a break from her flower girl practicing to dance with Grampie. So precious.

At an annual Labor Day breakfast at the park, my grandpa asked Alena if she wanted to go to the playground with him. I think this picture will be forever etched in my mind.

A family walk to Sweet Mellisa's and sharing a cupcake sundae made for a perfect Sunday evening.
Not to mention Alena's excitement. :)

Another great night out at Brush Studio with my sister (one week from her wedding!), sister-in-law, and mom. Such fun painting!
